Mode Selection
Modes are selected using the Function keys in the left-hand side of the centre
s
ection (shown right). The channel mode options are displayed in the bottom
row of softkeys when none of the top row of switches are selected.
The channels to be configured are selected by pressing one or more channel
s
trip SEL keys, or globally using the ALL Function key.
The default mode is In-line Mix. Press TRK to activate In-line
T
rack mode. Press ST to activate Stereo mode. The switches
light to indicate In-line Track and Stereo mode. Note that the
TRK and ST buttons are inter-cancelling.
To use a mono channel configuration for basic tracking, simply
return to In-line Mix mode and ignore the secondary channel
path.
When in either In-Line modes, the
RETURN switches (near the pan pots in
the channel strips) are unselected, meaning
that the secondary path is sourced from the
primary path. Press RETURN to switch the
monitor path to the external signal. The
RETURN LED lights to indicate it is active.
When the SET Function key (next to the ALL Function key) is selected, pressing any in-channel non-
latching switches (such as the RETURN switch) will cause that switch to activate in all selected
channels
The mode and its basic signal path are indicated in the console TFT screen when the SSL > Chan softkey is pressed. The
LEDs below the in-channel RETURN switch also indicate the mode, as indicated in the summary table below:
